One picture or more. From time to time (22) An 'architectonic view'. Another walk from Spring. (II) O 'viziune arhitectonică' din primăvară.

Motto:"Just as things in a picture, when viewed from a distance, appear to be all in one and the same condition and alike.""Neither family, nor privilege, nor wealth, nor anything but Love can light that beacon which a man must steer by when he sets out to live the better life."

"For once touched by love, everyone becomes a poet."

"I only wish that wisdom were the kind of thing that flowed … from the vessel that was full to the one that was empty." Plato

"Just as things in a picture, when viewed from a distance, appear to be all in one and the same condition and alike." From 'Parmenides'.

"Neither family, nor privilege, nor wealth, nor anything but Love can light that beacon which a man must steer by when he sets out to live the better life."

"For once touched by love, everyone becomes a poet."

"I only wish that wisdom were the kind of thing that flowed … from the vessel that was full to the one that was empty." From "The Symposium".

"Platowas the innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy. Plato appears to have been the founder of Western political philosophy, with his Republic, and Laws among other dialogues, providing some of the earliest extant treatments of political questions from a philosophical perspective. Plato's own most decisive philosophical influences are usually thought to have been Socrates, Parmenides, Heraclitus and Pythagoras, although few of his predecessors' works remain extant and much of what we know about these figures today derives from Plato himself.The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes Plato as "...one of the most dazzling writers in the Western literary tradition and one of the most penetrating, wide-ranging, and influential authors in the history of philosophy. ... He was not the first thinker or writer to whom the word “philosopher” should be applied. But he was so self-conscious about how philosophy should be conceived, and what its scope and ambitions properly are, and he so transformed the intellectual currents with which he grappled, that the subject of philosophy, as it is often conceived—a rigorous and systematic examination of ethical, political, metaphysical, and epistemological issues, armed with a distinctive method—can be called his invention. Few other authors in the history of Western philosophy approximate him in depth and range: perhaps only Aristotle (who studied with him), Aquinas and Kant would be generally agreed to be of the same rank."
"Plato's tripartite theory of soulis a theory of psyche proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his treatise the Republic. In Republic, Plato asserted that the ψυχή (psyche) is composed of three parts; the λογιστικόν (logistykon, logical), the θυμοειδές (thymoeides, spirited) and the ἐπιθυμητικόν (epithymetikon, appetitive). These three parts of the ψυχή (psyche) also correspond to the three classes of a society. Whether in a city or an individual, δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosyne, justice) is declared to be the state of the whole in which each part fulfills its function without attempting to interfere in the functions of others.The function of the ἐπιθυμητικόν (epithymetikon, appetitive) is to produce and seek pleasure. The function of the λογιστικός (logistykon, logical) is to gently rule through the love of learning. The function of the θυμοειδές (thymoeides, spirited) is to obey the directions of the λογιστικός (logistykon, logical) while ferociously defending the whole from external invasion and internal disorder. Whether in a city or an individual, ἀδικία (adikia, injustice) is the contrary state of the whole, often taking the specific form in which the spirited listens instead to the appetitive, while they together either ignore the logical entirely or employ it in their pursuits of pleasure."*

I enjoy travelling and documenting to find out new & old things, to see world and people with one drop of positive attitude... from a huge sense of wonder... But before all, it was William Blake who beautifully said it:
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour. (...)
Fragments from "Auguries of Innocence".
Also, "It’s never too late (...) to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same; there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." excerpt by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Thank you so very much! urban photography is lovely, indeed! Adding some color is a personal choice, personal perspective; not sure if the result was really the most interesting for everyone, but it is all about being subjective in digital art photography. Thank you once again for your thoughts! A good day, too!

Thank you very much for your thoughts, too, Carol! pleasure is mine; I like so much the way you share the joy through your photos, words and creative sketches! A nice weekend to you and little Zoe, too!

Many thanks, Sara! I tried to look from a different perspective with each layer of colors added or filter! the aspects are very changed in attenuate colors, from sepia to b&w or antiquated filters applied as I already mentioned in the previous and related post.Greetings and hugs, too!

You are so creative with the use of light in your photographs and I enjoy looking at them while listening to the music. My parents met in college as they were both philosophy majors and both went on to get an advanced degree. I grew up listening to them and other college friends talking "philosophy." including Plato.....Michelle

Wonderful thoughts about your parents, Michelle! And always a pleasure to know that you enjoy looking at my edited photographs from my perspective/philosophy.Thank you so very much for all these words and remembrance shared! Warm greetings to you!

Such an attractive series, lovely to look at. My favourite (although not in black and white) is the photo of the couple with the long shadows walking along the street. The light is so beautiful. You should print this and hang it on the wall.

Thank you so much; I think I was inspired to look in that direction at the right moment. And I love to make photos in "contre-jour", in order to capture that kind of sunshine reflection (with long shadows); I supose that's an nice effect captured...I'll keep in mind the idea shared. Thank you very much!

I could look and look and visit again... famous architekture so well captured and thought for inspiration...Have a good new week

By the way: I often think, that would be better to make only one big post for all memes during the week, but than I make again a lot of small posts, for each another. And nobody looks at these all, at the rhythm of colors and sujets of my blog, most look only at a small part - you make that definitely better) http://maschas-buch.blogspot.de/

You have such beautiful creative post with so lovely collages and photos, great essays and sensitive pieces of music shared, Mascha. Thank you for these warm thoughts and appreciation, as well! A good new week, too!

Dear Alexa T - Each landscape including classical architectures and statues is so beautiful bathed in the different light. My favorite image is the 19th in which I see the shadow of you taking photos. Because of the photo, your existence in your world became very real to me, though living so far away from each other.

So beautifully said by you that "existence in our world became very real to me, though living so far away from each other. " Many thanks for the wisdom and sensitivity shared through these lovely notes. An i'm glad to know you through your lovely pictures and posts, as well. My appreciation and so very thankful!

Interesting images of your city, Alexa, of the architecture that defines it, and of the activity that fills it. I have always found Plato to be remarkably intriguing, and the little that I studied of his writings in my university philosophy courses, taught me a lot.

Many thanks for the lovely thoughts and hugs from Plato's birthplace, Poppy! Thankful! As well, I studied about Plato's writings in High school and a little bit in Faculty. But, I always love to read about various subjects from philosophy. A very lovely thursday and great weekend, too! Salutari cordiale!

What a beautiful images of your city,Alex. Those classical architectures and statues are gorgeous. It must be a wonderful place to walk. Love the pure sound music. Thank you for sharing.Wonderful day to you!

Thank you very much, Tomoko! these aspects are from the center of the city; it is a nice place with interesting architecture and I like to take photos and to present them in my own perspective. Hope you enjoyed the walk.A very pleasant day and new week, too! A great month of July!

I've been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It's beautiful worth enough for me.Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net might be much more useful than ever before.

Thanks for coming by my blog and for your fantastic thoughts and comments!! I appreciate your precious invested time in the reading of my posts and I'll visit you, as soon as I can, in the next available period of time. Have a positive and awesome day! Be joyful, amazing and never give up to smile! Stunning things are all over! All the best!

Springtime in April

A Spring sequence. "I have decided to be happy because it's good for my health." "Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." Voltaire

Sakura in April

"A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら)." "The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short." Source Internet/Wikipedia

"Names and etymology"* "The Latin name Dānuvius is one of a number of "Old European" river names derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dānu. Other river names from the same root include the Don, Donets, Dzvina/Duna, Dysna, Dnieper and Dniestr. (...) "The Latin name is masculine (as is the name of the Rhine). German Donau (Early Modern German Donaw, Tonaw, Middle High German Tuonowe) is feminine, as it has been re-interpreted as containing the suffix -ouwe "wetland". The modern languages spoken in the Danube basin all use names derived from Dānuvius: German: Donau ([ˈdoːnaʊ̯]; Bavarian: Doana; Yiddish: Duney דוניי‎ [dʊnɛj]); Silesian: Důnaj; Upper Sorbian: Dunaj; Slovak: Dunaj ([ˈdunaj]); Hungarian: Duna ([ˈdunɒ]); Croatian: Dunav ([dǔnaʋ]; Serbian: Dunav / Дунав ([dǔnaʋ] or [dǔnaːʋ]); Romanian: Dunărea ([ˈdunəre̯a]); Romani: Dunaja ([ˈdunaja]); Bulgarian: Дунав Dunav ([ˈdunɐf]); Ukrainian: Дунай Dunai ([duˈnɑj])."Source Wikipedia

2016. New Year's Resolution: Confidence!

"Confidence is not something that can be learned like a set of rules; confidence is a state of mind. Positive thinking, practice, training, knowledge and talking to other people are all useful ways to help improve or boost your confidence levels."

"The Black Sea* is a sea in Southeastern Europe. It is bounded by Europe, Anatolia and the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and the Aegean Seas and various straits. The Bosphorus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the Strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean. These waters separate eastern Europe and western Asia. The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch." *click for more info on Wikipedia.

"I am alone amidst the trees at the lake’s edge, I live in friendship with the shore’s old firs and in secret understanding with all the young rowans. Alone I lie and wait, I have seen no one walk by. Great flowers look down on me from tall stems, bitter creepers climb in my embrace, I have a single name for everything, and that is love."
